Dorothy H· October 20th, 20242. We should have had contact with all independent tour operators in the event of issues that arose. 3. Finally, I think that the tours should be spread out over the period and not lumped together in the last four days. Perhaps an every other day would have been less taxing. By the way the Tui operated tours were excellent and the Safari tour was also very good.Show more
Destination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear Dorothy, Thank you for taking the time sharing your experience in Greece. In all welcome letters emergency numbers are available for any last minute change. Have a great winter ahead and hope seeing you in the future. Regards, Mina.Trip date: September 2024- Dorothy H· October 20th, 2024Overall, Mrs Shimizu and I were very pleased with the experiences we had in Crete because of your arrangements. Also I want to thank you for accommodating me with rearranging shuttle service for me because of my delayed flight. There are three issues however that while not major would have made the activities schedule seamless. 1. It would have been nice to have a live personal contact or at least a phone call from a representative from TourRadar to ask if there were any last minute questions or concerns we may have had. 2. We should have had contact information in the event issues arose for all tour aoperatorsShow moreDestination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear Dorothy, Thank you for sharing your experience in Crete with TourRadar.

- GVGeorge· October 4th, 2024The tours were done by third parties which made it confusing. We had different people on each of your tours.would have preferred the same group of people. Pick up times from daily tours were organised for 8.00pm when most of the tours finished around 5.00pm. Had to organise earlier pick up timesShow moreDestination Services Greece commented on this reviewDear George, Thank you for sharing your experience in Greece. We value your opinion regarding the pick up time, though as most of our guests would like to relax during vacation 08:00 is an ideal time to combine resting and visiting the same time....

- JBJanet· June 6th, 2024We had a wonderful time on our trip. The hotel was super. Walking distance to lovely beaches, friendly and helpful staff. Great food in copious amounts. The tours were interesting and well coordinated but unlike our tour in 2022 this one was not one group of people who stay together the whole 7 days with one guide.. This was a series of individual day trips and you may or may not encounter the same people and you may have a different guide each trip. And the trip to Spinalonga had such an early departure we missed breakfast in the hotel which made us sad because they had such lovely breakfasts. The tour operator for the Chania tour cancelled the day trip to Chania since not enough people signed up for it ( it is quite a long drive from Heraklion where we were located) so just be prepared to look for alternate activities if that should happen. We went to Aquarium on our own on that free day.Show moreTrip date: April 2024

- GGGail· September 18th, 2023I really enjoyed my time on Crete & the activities that were included as part of the tour. I was however very disappointed with the late release of the itinerary, vouchers & hotel arrangements. None of this was available until after i had left Australia. I am an organised person & found it difficult not having this information before i left home. If i pay for a tour in full 45 days prior to departure then i expect that shortly after receiving my payment you should be able to provide me with all of the details of the trip. I can see no reason why this information cannot be provided in a more timely manner & this is i factor that i will consider before booking a tour again.Show moreTrip date: August 2023
- JBJanet· September 12th, 2023The walk to the bus pickup was not as simple as made out as the Road is not flat. For elderly and people with mobility issues this is a problem. Please let your future clients know. Also the day trips undertaken are great however they were not scheduled as published which meant the spare day was not the first day but the last day which meant I had to change my own plans once I got to Crete. The daily tours were out sourced to TUI. Which was also not made clear until the seven day notification when all the vouchers and accommodation details were shared The TUI pickups and drop offs added an hour at least to each day and the buses even the smaller ones only just cater for the 50 or 20 passengers doing the daily tours. If you are over 5ft 3inches your knees will be against the person infront of your seat. Reduce the number of people and reduce the seats in the buses for comfort. It was alot more independent than expected. As each day trip was a different group tour guide and driver. I am about to do a second tour with Tour Radar in Greet so will see what happens with the second leg.Show moreTrip date: September 2023
